Anne Hathaway had Claire Danes' blessing to go to town spoofing her distressed, excitable character on Homeland. And what of Katie Holmes' blessing to assume her mannerisms on Saturday Night Live?

Not so much. But Hathaway at least tried to make the mockery into more of a mutual admiration society.

"I have not heard from Katie," the Les Misérables star admitted to Ellen DeGeneres in an interview airing Monday on Ellen, referring to her Nov. 10 appearance on SNL in which she played the Dawson's Creek star as a guest on Vanessa Bayer's Miley Cyrus Show.

"What I really wanted to have happen, 'cause this is the second time I did Katie [on SNL], I wanted Katie to come on the show and do me. And, I wanted to do this rap about how awesome I think Katie Holmes is...but she is on Broadway, and killing it on Broadway, so she couldn't."

Hathaway did, however, talk to Danes before the sketch spoofing Homeland, in which she played Danes' Carrie and Bill Hader donned one heck of a beard to play Mandy Patinkin's Saul.
